Actually I liked the Twitter, TikTok, Tumblr, 4chan etc posts because it gave me a curated experience of those other sites/apps without having to personally participate in them. Especially TikTok; as much as I hate to admit it, the app is tremendously popular to the point of being a contemporary cultural powerhouse, and while I refuse to download the app I do want to stay in the loop somehow. I primarily used reddit as an Internet one-stop-shop for the latest news and cultural happenings, and am worried I'm going to completely fall into irrelevancy without it. Maybe it's time to accept that's just what happens as you get older...

I would rather those other social media site reposts be contained to their own communities, they always looked like such low quality posts to me.
